After stints blogging at Time, the Atlantic, and the Daily Beast, Andrew Sullivan has announced he will be going back out on his own. Starting February 1, he will move to a new paid content model.

In return for purchasing a subscription, Sullivan promises his readers, “No corporate ownership, no advertising demands, no pressure for pageviews … just a concept designed to make your reading experience as good as possible, and to lead us not into temptation.”

For now, Sullivan is offering readers a chance to sign up for $19.99 a year, which he notes, “translates to $1.67 a month.”

The Pew poll is devastating, just devastating. Before the debate, Obama had a 51 – 43 lead; now, Romney has a 49 – 45 lead. That’s a simply unprecedented reversal for a candidate in October. . . .Seriously: has that kind of swing ever happened this late in a campaign? Has any candidate lost 18 points among women voters in one night ever? And we are told that when Obama left the stage that night, he was feeling good. That’s terrifying. On every single issue, Obama has instantly plummeted into near-oblivion. . . .Look: I’m trying to rally some morale, but I’ve never seen a candidate this late in the game, so far ahead, just throw in the towel in the way Obama did last week – throw away almost every single advantage he had with voters and manage to enable his opponent to seem as if he cares about the middle class as much as Obama does. . . .

PATHETIC! This is what happens when anyone allows themselves to be so wrapped up in their “identity” that everything revolves around their gender, or ethnicity, or in this case their sexuality. Sullivan, whether or not you agree with his ideology, and I certainly do not, has achieved quite a bit in life. Yet, he needs to be told that he is “equal”? Someone pass me a vomit bag! When I say that Liberalism is an ideology for the child-like adults, THIS is what I mean!

Donald Douglas adds this nugget!

I don’t think you could find better progressive optics I mean, seriously, Sully’s emoting to Chris Matthews, who in 2008 confessed that, “I have to tell you, you know, it’s part of reporting this case, this election … the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama’s speech. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg…”
